Bright Bots Trainer Pants

Product Description

Details

Now with PUL! These brightly coloured trainer pants come in a lovely selection of bright colours: yellow, orange, red, green, blue, purple, plus Barbie pink, and pastel shades - light pink, light mauve, pastel green, turquoise and light blue. These trainer pants have a layer of short-loop cotton terry on the inside, and cotton jersey (like a t-shirt) on the outside. Sandwiched between these, in an enlarged gusset shape, is a layer of foam for absorbancy, with a PUL waterproof layer outside. I have used these on 2 of my daughters. Wee containment is excellent. There is no actual running leak out of the pants - the wetness does spread around the fabric, and so wicks onto the leg bindings and around the top of the enlarged waterproof gusset, but it is all contained within the pants. I find they give enough protection to keep the clothes dry while you find the nearest loo, so if you didn't happen to pick up a change of outfit before leaving home, it probably won't be needed anyway.

The pants come in four sizes, S M L and XL. The fit of these is somewhat controversial, and depends more on the build of your toddler than on any easily given weight or age limits! The size guide given in the pants is by weight and waist measurement (though I'd not put too much store by the waist guide), and is as follows: Small - waist 52cm, height 84cm, weight 12kg; Medium - waist 53cm, height 92cm, weight 14kg; Large - waist 54cm, height 100cm, weight 16kg; Extra large - waist 55cm, height 108cm, weight 18kg. If your child is slim, you may need a smaller size, if your child is chubby, especially on the thighs, you may need to go up a size. My daughters wore both medium and large quite happily, though the medium were a better fit on skinny legs and the large were better on chunky legs. Children over 3 would probably need large or extra large, under 3 probably medium/large, and under 2 small or medium. Sorry not to be more helpful, by all means ring me for guidance if you're unsure which size to order!

Wash on a cool to warm cycle - up to 40 deg - and dark colours separately. Cannot be tumble dried.

Excellent for use when potty trainingReview by Kate

I love Bright Bots training pants. They're perfect for use alongside cloth nappies when introducing casual potty training at home. The absorbency's great so you don't end up with a big puddle like you would if using ordinary pants but they still allow your child to feel that they are wet. They're even better now that you can wash them at 40 degrees as they used to be 'wash at 20 degrees'! (Posted on 18/04/2016)

Most training pants run HUGE! My tall/ slim 2 years old needs 18-24 months in most training pants and then they still sag. These I ordered Medium and they fit, barely. So while she struggles to pull them up herself, the leg holes are tight enough she doesn't pee straight out the leg when she has an accident. (Posted on 26/04/2015)

Good start to potty trainingReview by mummy

These were bought to see if my daughter would be ready for potty training (just turned 2). They were lovely quality and nice choice of colours. She was always happy to wear these big girl pants instead of her big cloth nappys. Nice comfy fit. Use them at home on and off for a few weeks. They only hold a small amount of wee so sometimes they would leak through to clothes. However i did find them useful for a short time as they made my daughter aware of when she was doing a wee and she was able to tell me and ask for new dry pants on. Potty training (with proper knickers) was then successful after only 3 days. So in conclusion - very good for that in between stage to see if child is ready. Have now passed them onto a friend.
